Description

Years before mountain bikes or gravel bikes existed, Jobst Brandt took bicycles to places they’d never been before. Best known for writing The Bicycle Wheel, the maverick California cyclist and engineer pioneered dirt riding and lightweight touring, and was the brilliant mind behind innovations like the treadless tire and the cycle computer.

Told through stunning archive photos and in depth interviews, this is an unconventional biography of a man whose passion, intellect, and sense of adventure changed the way we ride bikes today.
